If you love to travel, and also love to get a good deal on travel (since that means you can afford even MORE travel), you need to bookmark a new Chron.com site, and/or add it to your RSS feed reader of choice.
Houston Departures seems to have launched a couple of weeks ago.
Blogger Bill Montgomery is a traveler after my own heart. He seems to scour all the airline deals, and posts the best ones on the blog. And they are some good ones indeed! Here’s what he promises in his first post:
Just as I’ve been doing for myself and my friends for years, I’ll forgo the delights of late-night TV and instead troll the Web in search of bargains that are of interest to Houston travelers. I’ll post what I find here, and you won’t even need to buy me a hummingbird feeder, as one grateful friend did when he saved several hundred dollars on two tickets to Atlanta with my help.
I’ll coach you on the best way to play the frequent-flier game, I’ll offer tips on searching for your own fares, and I’ll prove the flight doesn’t have to be the most stressful part of your vacation.
Subsequent posts seem to deliver the goods.
My only suggestion would be to connect a Chron.com forum to the site, so that readers can easily add any travel deals they find to the conversation.
